A MAN has received head injuries after being assaulted by up to four men in Eastbourne in an early morning attack.

The incident took place in Hampden Park in the early hours of Saturday.

Shortly before 8am on Saturday police received a report that a man had received head injuries following an assault in the Brodrick Road area.

It is thought that at around 2.30am the 20-year-old local man was assaulted by three or four men who are known to him.
